Refinement & Release
Metal is the element of clarity, refinement, discernment, and letting go.
It is the blade that shapes, the breath that purifies, the boundary that defines truth from distortion.
Where Earth grounds, Metal sharpens.
Where Fire warms, Metal cools.
Where Water dissolves, Metal distills.
This session explores what you’re ready to release — and what you’re ready to claim.
Metal teaches:
What is essential
What has expired
What is yours to carry
What is finally ready to be set down
This is the element of grief, breath, truth-telling, and clean energetic edges.
